I'm going to add explicit support for polls. As soon as I get done reading hundreds of YC applications :(

Haha, well at least you fixed the 'not enough applications problem'! I would have submitted but I can't move this summer, although I think just getting feedback from yCombinator would be worth it to me. To bad time is your most precious commodity.

is there any way you could filter applications before reading them?

We do, in a sense: some people who apply we already know, because people we've funded recommended them. If you can impress the founders of a YC startup, that counts for a lot.

This site was designed partly as an additional filter. It works too. When I met danielha I knew his name because he was #1 on News.YC.
